The Fringe did not change much because of Han Shuo's emergence. Fighting, killing, and pillaging were still the main themes of the Fringe. On the outskirts of the Fringe, small-scale and large-scale battles never ceased.
As soon as Han Shuo and the Han family appeared in the Fringe, they attracted the attention of many forces. But as soon as they noticed Han Shuo among the crowd, those forces immediately became quiet and fled as far as they could.
In the Fringe, Han Shuo had become a well-known figure that no one dared to provoke.
Sanguis, Bollands, and Gilbert, the three of them loved to fight. They were like dragons returning to the sea after arriving at the Fringe. From time to time, they would leave the main force and wander around alone. Every time they returned, they would be covered in wounds.
All three of them were cultivators of demonic arts. They knew that if they wanted to improve their strength in the shortest time possible, they would have to temper themselves through repeated battles. The Fringe was the perfect place for them to do so.
After they left Han Shuo, the three of them would sometimes travel together and sometimes they would separate. They would look for small forces that weren't particularly strong to attack and use their enemies' deaths to sharpen their strength.
Han Shuo allowed them to do as they pleased because he knew that the three of them possessed decent strength and were cunning and cunning. Even in the Fringe, they wouldn't suffer too much. Their injuries weren't particularly serious and they would recover in a day or two.
In the beginning, the three of them went out alone. Later on, they gradually brought along some of the Han Clan's guards. The Han Clan's guards had been tempered for a long time and were not easy to deal with. Once there were more of them, and with the three of them commanding them, many forces along the way were killed. Later on, when many forces saw them approaching, they would hide far away.
"The Fringe isn't as scary as I thought. I didn't encounter any powerful enemies along the way." Sanguinar had been in high spirits for the past few days. Having single-handedly killed a mid-stage highgod for the first time, his confidence had swelled to an unprecedented level. He even became somewhat arrogant.
"Haha, we are too strong. But the Fringe sure is a chaotic place. Every time we walk, we will see a great battle. Those guys are more ferocious than the next. This place is really interesting. It suits our Han family very well!" Gilbert was also very excited. In this place, he could unleash all of his energy and improve himself by killing. Obviously, he liked the Fringe a lot.
Only Bollands wasn't as confident as the other two. He coldly glanced at the two and said, "The Fringe is famous for being a chaotic place on Elysium. All kinds of fiends from the Twelve Dominions are gathered here. The Five Sovereigns definitely live up to their reputation. The reason why we haven't encountered any real enemies is that we have yet to venture into the heart of the Fringe. Another reason is that the real major forces more or less know about our origins. They are wary of my Senior Brother's strength and dare not make a move on us. You two, don't be so full of yourself and think that the Fringe is an easy place to deal with!"
Ever since Sanguinar and Gilbert nearly killed Sha-t 'o for his sake in Witherbone City, Bollands had regarded the two as his most trustworthy friends. Otherwise, Bollands wouldn't have spoken so much to them. If it were anyone else, he would at most let out a cold groan.
Sanguinar and Gilbert knew that this was Bollands's personality. They never thought that there was anything wrong with his attitude. After hearing those words, Sanguinar put on a mischievous smile and said, "You do have a point, old man. But I believe that apart from the Four Sovereigns, there shouldn't be any other powerful forces in the Fringe. In my opinion, even without Master's name, we can still establish our own foothold in the Fringe!"
"That's right. The leaders of the smaller forces are only early-stage highgods. The three of us, together with fifty guards, will be able to make a name for ourselves in the Fringe. Why don't we head to the Omphalos alone? I believe that we can reach there without using Master's power, "suggested Gilbert excitedly after hearing Sanguinar's words.
Sanguinar's eyes lit up and he replied, "That's right! We can head there first. With Master taking care of us, the matriarchs and those old geezers will be fine."
"No, if anything goes wrong, I won't be able to answer to Senior Brother!" Bollands frowned, and without thinking, he straightforwardly refused.
"Aiya, old man, don't be so pedantic. We will be fine. Come on, let's go. We will head to the Omphalos and wait for them. After all, we have already asked them about the general location, "laughed Sanguinar and took the lead. He didn't seem to care about the dangers ahead of him.
Gilbert snickered and went over to tug at Bollands, saying, "It's alright, Master definitely won't blame us. The Fringe isn't that bad after all. Hurry up, don't spoil everyone's mood!" As he spoke, he dragged Bollands along, ignoring Bollands' grim expression.
If it weren't for Sanguinar and Gilbert standing up for him in Witherbone City, Bollands would have decisively refused and would have led them back to the main army.
But now that Bollands had considered Sanguinar and Gilbert as the most trustworthy people apart from Han Shuo, Bollands didn't want to spoil their fun. After hesitating for a moment, under Gilbert's tugging and tugging, he acquiesced to the duo's decision. But in his heart, he felt that it was inappropriate to do so.
Sanguinar, Gilbert, and Bollands, along with fifty Han family guards, left the main army of the Han family and headed towards the Omphalos.
In the beginning, the enemies they encountered were small forces led by early-stage and mid-stage highgods. With Sanguis, Bollands, and Gilbert's combined strength, as well as the terrifying strength of the House of Han guards, the three of them were able to rampage their way through. There weren't many forces that could contend against them.
Sanguis and Gilbert were in high spirits along the way. They had forgotten the fact that the deeper they went, the more dangerous it would be. They shouted as they charged towards the center of the Fringe, hoping to enter the Omphalos as soon as possible.
However, when they were far from the main army of the Han family, some of the major forces in the Omphalos were unaware of their identities as well as Han Shuo's. On top of that, they had deliberately cut off their relationship with the Han family and did not intend to make use of Han Shuo's strength. Gradually, some of the more ferocious great leaders began to notice them.
Finally, a late-stage highgod led by a late-stage highgod stopped them halfway up a mountain peak.
Moreover, there was more than one late-stage highgod!
One was a late-stage highgod of death, one was a late-stage highgod of wind, and several mid-stage and early-stage highgods. There were also a group of mid-stage and late-stage midgods. The overall strength of this force far exceeded that of Sanguinar, Bollands, and Gilbert.
"Hehe, you have been killing to your heart's content, haven't you? Hehe, you even dared to touch Lord Logue's subordinates. You really don't know how to spell the word 'death'!" The late-stage highgod of death sneered. Looking at Sanguinar, Gilbert, and the others who were heavily surrounded, he shouted, "You have two choices before you. Either you surrender and become Lord Logue's followers, or you die!"
It was at this moment that Sanguinar and Gilbert realized that the Fringe was not like the Darkness and Death Dominions. Experts were as common as the clouds in the sky. Moreover, every one of them was unreasonable and heartless. As soon as one fell into a disadvantageous position, they would pounce on one and tear one to shreds.
Sanguinar was confident that he could kill an expert with mid-stage highgod strength. However, he also knew that against a late-stage highgod, he wouldn't stand a chance.
The enemy, on the other hand, had not only two late-stage highgods, but also six or seven experts of the other two realms. Such a force was not something that they could handle.
Sanguinar and Gilbert exchanged glances with each other. They finally regretted looking down on the heroes of the world.
"Friend, we are from the Han family of Pandemonium!" Bollands took a step forward and looked at Sanguis in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He was much calmer than Sanguis and Gilbert.
At this critical moment, Bollands' mental fortitude, which he had tempered through countless dangers and setbacks, came into play.
"What? The Han family of Pandemonium? " The bald man who was wearing a mocking smile a moment ago suddenly turned pale. He asked, "Who are you to Lord Brian?"
"This is his disciple," replied Bollands as he pointed at Sanguinar.
Bollands heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the man's attitude. He thought to himself, Senior Brother is indeed fearsome in the Pandemonium. It seems that with Senior Brother's reputation, there won't be any problems today.
The bald man wore a grave face. He scrutinized Bollands, Han Shuo, and Han Shuo for a moment before he suddenly shouted, "Kill them all! Don't leave a single one alive! Otherwise, if Brian finds out, we will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to His Lordship! I will skin anyone who dares to escape! "
"How dare you?!" Bollands was shocked and shouted fiercely.
"Haha, why wouldn't I dare? Do you think that I won't touch you just because of Brian's reputation? Haha, none of you will escape today. He won't even know who did it. How can he find me? You outsiders don't know the situation in the Fringe at all. Let me tell you, the people of the Fringe are all madmen. There's nothing they don't dare to do! "laughed the bald man maniacally. His maniacal demeanor made him sound like a madman.
"Attack!" commanded the bald man with a wave of his hand.
Bollands' heart sank. He knew that they were in deep trouble.
